CF Conversions to 2K19 ~ Updated CF Conversion Kit Tutorial RLSD 8/26!

without question the number 1

i tried again

I went forward with the First method mentioned earlier. It is indeed possible to avoid texture issues altogether and to clean up the eye movements. Complete cyberface conversions from 2K18 are a go! I'm now going to test the same method with 2K17 and see if there is anything different that needs to be done. Once I do that, I will work on a tutorial. In the meantime, I will begin putting out releases to share some players that I convert, starting with Charles Barkley:

amazing job,

looking forward for your tutorial

this is a game changer

is it possible to remod the converted 2k18 face?

[PeacemanNOT]

Congrats on this, hopefully this will be of great use to face makers in the future.

There's a couple more steps for 2K17 conversions, with the most notable thing being that it's quite a bit more challenging to conceal the joined halves of the head shape - since geometry is a lot different.

Here's a preview of (my modded) 2K17 Reggie Miller, who is fully converted but not finished yet. The process works just the same for 2K17 except the results of conversions will probably not be as good as from 2K18. It is doable though.

WOW

[trevorjpt33]

is it possible to remod the converted 2k18 face?

Definitely. When the conversion process is complete it should function just like any other 2K19 cyberface file would. Can make 3D edits in Blender, edits to textures in Photoshop/paint.NET/etc, and adjust values in the appearance_info.RDAT file like you would with a 2K19 mod.

Thanks guys! Yeah I am really hoping all of this can carry over going into 2K20 and that this can save a lot of time for those making rosters.

Been combining a few of the needed programs for cyberface conversion into one. Just completed the 2K19 Cyberface Conversion Kit. Now I need to do the same with a couple Blender addons that are also necessary.

[trevorjpt33]

One thing I would like to note ahead of the release of my 2k19 cyberface conversion kit as sort of a disclaimer:

Getting a player to look passable (standards may differ) in game is not too hard... But to really do it justice and get a good, clean conversion it will require at least some basic knowledge modding knowledge and experience in Blender - ideally an intermediate level of experience (though not required). Not to discourage anybody from trying, but to let you know ahead of time what you will be getting into.

Realistically, not knowing the basics as a starting point will be unlikely to achieve the desired results. Ideally there would be a conversion process that is mostly painless even for those with no experience, but that is not the case. While I've automated most of the steps involving grunt work, their unfortunately is no substitute for making edits manually in Blender

As for everyone else, you should be able to achieve the desired results and with the final product it will be up to you how much attention you give to some of the details. I've been trying to make the process as short and repeatable as possible. There's a certain order to the steps but after a couple times and getting it down hopefully it will be fairly quick.

*Correction - I deleted my last post ^ to avoid confusion - I am happy to be wrong in overestimating how difficult the conversion process will be. It turns out that it can be condensed quite a bit and my expectations of how close to perfect of a conversions can be achieved have been surpassed. Process is still the same but minus a couple tedious steps that were more dependent on the quality of edits that a person makes in Blender. I have created an application that is used step-by-step, as well as a blender addon package. I had the process nailed down but I am actually going to go back and remove some parts of the application.

Also, I am going to do my last bit of testing by re-converting and re-releasing the 2K18 Charles Barkley since it will be significantly better quality.

Nice. Will this work for 2k17 models as well? I know you mentioned it should, just wanted to know if anything changed

It will work for 2K17 models in the sense that it will shorten the process for them as well. However, I do not know if it will be possible to convert them without any blemish or trace of joining headshapes like it is 2K18 models since the geometry is not the same with 2K17 models as it is with 2K18 and 2K19 models.

Congratulations for your amazing work.
A long shot but you never gave up

Someone can make a conversion instruction video. Thanks
Great work

If you were to Choose to Then it Seems that it Might be Possible for you to Convert your Wilt Chamberlin you did Last Year for 2K18, I Always Felt that it was the Best Wilt I've Seen

Trevor your work is unbelievable I really looking forward for the conversion kit
